His property is pretty amazing--one of the members of the Johnson & Johnson family purchased it for him and since then he has turned it into a recording studio and a small farm.
Arn's story is also amazing. He was 12 years old when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, but survived in a work camp because he could play the flute to entertain the KR soldiers. In 1979 he was forced to fight against the Vietnamese. In 1980 he escaped to a refugee camp in Thailand, where he was eventually adopted by an American family and brought to the US. He returned to Cambodia in the 1990s and founded Cambodian Living Arts in 1996.
Michelle and I slept out here

A very traditional Cambodian dinner-vegetable soup, rice and smoked fish.
We had to put up the mosquito net to sleep outside
It wasn't the best sleep I've ever had, but the sunrise over the Mekong was spectacular. I wish I had gotten a better picture.
